1. I attended the musical Mamma Mia. It was performed in the
capital theatre downtown performed I’m pretty sure by a Broadway group that
travels around.
2. This play is about a young woman and
her mother who lives on a small island and run a hotel/inn. The young woman
gets engaged and decides that she wants to invite her father to the wedding;
the only problem is that neither she nor her mother knew who her father was. In
the mothers journal there were three possible fathers that were named and so
she started off with those and sent them invitations to her wedding because she
believed that when she saw the man that was her father, she would know. She did
this behind her mother’s back so it ends up being really funny when they all
show up to her wedding and her mom has no idea they are there and freaks out
when she sees all her old boyfriends again in her hotel/inn. The young woman
ends up never finding out who her dad is because unlike she thought, she
couldn’t tell who it was. Her mom ends up marrying one of her old boyfriends
and so he kind of becomes the woman’s father and she finally feels complete and
happily gets married.
3. I would definitely say that this was
a high quality performance. The singers had absolutely amazing voices, made me
feel like they were really the characters they were playing, their costumes we
colorful and fun, it followed the story line well but had a couple of twists
different from the movie that surprised me, had a good mix of fast and slow
songs, had a great meaning, and then the lighting and look of the whole thing
was fantastic too. I left the building feeling uplifted, hyper, and in a
singing mood. Mistakes wise I think they still did a great job, I think in one
of the songs the girl was off pitch but it actually made it better in my mind
because it reminded me that these are real people who make mistakes. It made it
relatable in a way and made me grateful for how hard they do work not to have
more mistakes. I loved the performance and have thought about going to see it
again in another location many times.
4. It was hard to find any information
on the artists, composers, or others connected with this performance because
like I mentioned earlier me and my parents are not really sure what company
performed. We went to this musical a little over a year ago and so I remember
details about the plot of the play and how much I liked it but I have no way of
knowing anything about the company that put on the production. You said it was
okay to use a musical we went to in the past and so that’s why I don’t have
those specific details that you want.
5. My reaction to this performance was
pure joy. I left leaving the best mood and feeling uplifted and inspired. The
music in this musical I think is what mainly did it to me. The music was really
fun and brought the characters together. All the music from this performance was
old songs from the singing group ABBA; Honey Honey, Dancing Queen, Take a Chance
on Me, and Does Your Mother Know. These songs are very uplifting and full of
energy. Another reason I really liked this musical is because I feel they
didn’t drag it out two and three hours long. It was a nice hour and half-length
performance which made me want more when it ended. I was actually quite sad
when it ended and wanted them to come out and have a secret ending or something
but I think that’s honestly what has made me want to go back. They didn’t drag
it out to the point I was bored and not wanting to see the musical ever again,
they gave me enough to be excited I came but still made me want to go back and
get a little bit more. It was very tasteful and entertained me.
6. I would definitely recommend this
performance to other people to go see because of all the reasons I have already
mentioned. The acting and singing was phenomenal, the musical itself was spiced
up with special details left out in the move, the costumes caught your eye, the
songs were upbeat and fun for the most part but It also had some slow songs
that made you feel some real emotion, and it was the perfect length. I feel
like most people hate musicals in general because they are so long. They like
them for the first hour or so but then get bored of them and leave with a negative
attitude. Anyone would have liked this performance because it was short and to
the point but still detailed enough to give you your money’s worth.
7. I would thoroughly enjoy seeing that
exact performance/musical again or another production put on by the same
company of actors. I would like to see what other kind of stuff they could do
and see if they had enough talent to mix up the actors and put them in different character
roles to bring our other individuals talents. This musical saved me from hating
musicals all around. It made me want to go see more musicals or plays because
finding one that you really like are worth sitting through a couple bad ones. I
thoroughly enjoyed this performance and have gained a love and respect for
musicals and the performers that are in them.
